The Xeon is just a P-III that can address more RAM, has a faster, larger L2 cache, and can support more processors in an SMP configuration. Large SMP configurations (> 4 processors) could be an issue, but that wouldn't be the fault of the Xeon support but an SMP issue. However, I did see an e-mail early this year about someone booting FreeBSD on a 8 CPU Xeon server.
